The Bharatiya Janata Party State general secretary (Organisation) Phanindranath Sharm instructed the scheduled caste and youth fronts of the party to spread the message of the government’s public welfare work and social harmony among the people. He said that all party workers have to contribute to the ongoing journey of nation-building by strengthening the booth structure. Elections are also a milestone in this, and as political workers, all must work towards winning public trust for the third consecutive term.
Addressing the party workers at the BJP State headquarters here on Monday, Sharma discussed organisational strength, social harmony, widespread publicity of public welfare schemes and the overall empowerment of the scheduled caste. He stated that the BJP’s objective is to extend the benefits of development to every segment of society and connect those in need with government schemes. The Central and State governments are implementing various public welfare schemes for the educational, social and economic upliftment of the scheduled caste community. The true benefits of these schemes can only be ensured when eligible individuals are informed about them and provided with proper guidance in the process of availing the benefits.
He said that often, due to a lack of information, eligible individuals are deprived of the benefits of government schemes. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the officials and workers of the party’s scheduled caste cell to reach every village and every household to make people aware of the schemes. Disseminating information about government schemes to those at the bottom of society and assisting eligible beneficiaries in accessing them should be among the organisation’s priorities.
Emphasising the need to strengthen the organisation, Sharma said that cell’s workers should not limit themselves to organisational activities, but should also remain active in the society, understand its problems, establish communication with needy families, and convey their concerns to the relevant departments for solutions. He said that efforts should be made to connect the youth, women, and needy families of the society with opportunities for progress by raising awareness on issues related to education, skill development, self-employment, social security and economic self-reliance.
In another important meeting of the Yuva Morcha office bearers, he called for disseminating information about central and State government schemes to youth in simple, local language. To achieve this, public outreach, awareness programs, dialogue with beneficiaries, and local-level meetings should be organised in villages and settlements. Eligible beneficiaries should also be assisted with application, necessary documents, and information about relevant departments, so that the benefits of government schemes can effectively reach those in need.
